"I'm sorry". She said with a small voice as she rubbed her hands together to stop the freezing. It was shining but she suddenly felt cold.
Lucas who was slowly loosing himself in his dark aura jolted back to reality when he realized that his cold aura was freezing his wife and he quickly pulled her to his warm embrace.
"I'm sorry for scaring you". He said on her head. Catherine slowly hugged him back feeling his warmth coating her.
They hugged each other with Lucas stroking her back gently in a soothing manner. Catherine felt calm and safe in his strong and warm embrace.
"I'm really sorry for thinking like that. I just felt worried. " She said softly.
It's okay wife. He said with his thick and deep voice.
Catherine pulled away and stared into his dark black grey eyes.
"What did the vampire prophetess told you?" She asked.
Lucas throat bobbed up and down on hearing her words.
Damn, he had promised her he won't lie to her and tell her what she said. And now she is demanding to know what that prophetess said.
"Tell me hubby". She said with a sweet voice.
Lucas heart skipped a beat on her words. Did she just call him hubby? Does she seriously consider him her husband now?
His eyes flickerrr before saying bluntly.
"I can't tell you".
Catherine furrowed her brows and asked,
"Why can't you tell me?"
"It will bother you greatly". He replied honestly.
Catherine felt her heart skipped a beat at his words.
So the reason why he had refused to tell he was because he was worried it will bother her greatly. For some reasons, her heart raced wildly in her chest and her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment when she noticed how he looked at her pleased.
Lucas couldn't more than be pleased at the fact that his words had made her heart skipped a beat for me. And he couldn't wait to make her his completely.
Why are you staring at me like that? She asked with a small voice as her whole face colored up in redness.
As how? Lucas innocently with a raised brow.
"Like....." She paused her words and suddenly buried her face on his chest. Her cheeks were burning fiercely that she didn't want his piercing gaze on her anymore.
Lucas chuckled loudly at his wife shyness and he hugged her tightly.
"Cathy, I will never hurt you both physically and emotionally". He suddenly said and Catherine tried to pull away from his tight grip to stare at him but he heldd tightly, and continue speaking,
"You are not only my wife but my life partner, my soulmate, my other half. So why would I hurt you?, i won't". He said softly before pulling away.
"I trust you hubby". She said stol feeling slightly guilty for thinking that he will hurt her one day.
"Lets get in and get changed into comfortable clothes before visiting the market." He said and was about to lead her back inside when Catherine spoke,
"Promise me that when there is danger, you will take me a long with you". She said with firm gaze. She wanted to get his assurance not especially with those vivid nightmares appearing in her dreams. She'd rather go every where with him like a clingy wife than loosing him forever.
Her heart skipped a beat and shudder at the thought of losing her husband for ever.
Lucas heard her heart skipped a beat and that made him remember that she had a scary dream.
"Ahh, his poor wife is afraid once again of being alone. He didn't know what to do or say; because who knows, maybe, there will be war and he would have to leave her to go to the Frontline of the war". That thought alone made his heart acted in a weird way.
He didn't want to leave her at all.
"I promise ". He said and kissed her lips hard.
Catherine closed her eyes and parted her lips invitingly.
But Lucas didn't deepen the kiss and just kissed her lips hard before pulling away.
Catherine frowned at the coldness she felt the moment their lips parted.
Lucas saw the look of disappointment on her face and he couldn't help but smile.
"Soon, he will make her his". Lets get in before it's late.
Catherine bit her bottom lip softly before placing her hand on his large palm which he clapsed hard and gently and walked back inside the castle.
While they were walking on the huge and quiet hallways,
They heard familiar voices of Oliver and Clara.
Meanwhile,
As at that time Oliver left the dinning, Clara followed after him and over heard his words to the king saying,
"Your majesty, now that my brother is married. When should I bring home a bride?"
Those words he said shattered her heart in a painful way that she couldn't explain. She felt broken beyond repair.
The king was slightly taken aback but didn't say anything for a while before saying,
"Wait for my advice, don't bring home an unfilial lady". The king had said and Oliver nodded while the king walked back to his room.
Clara out of pain, suddenly grabbed Oliver's shirt from behind.
"Oliver why? I love you." She said with a broken voice.
Olive coldly pushed her away making her stumble backwards.
"I told you before that our relationship can't work we are siblings even though we are step siblings". He said sharply hurting her further.
"But your brother married a human. What is there to marry a vampiress like me? Am I that bad or ugly? I don't get why you are punishing me and you like this." She cried painfully following her knees.
"You are a princess and shouldn't be kneeling and begging. If you desperately wants to get married, tell father and your mother to look for a noble vampire royal prince for you. But as for me , I can't marry my sister whether or not we are vampires. " He said sharply and was about to walk away when Clara spoke fiercely,
. "I will tell father I'm in love with you".
